When Was the Last Time You Overcame Yourself and Achieved a Goal You Thought You Couldn’t?

It’s ON again! Whoohoooooo! Can I break my personal record?

I’m 47, and four months ago, I decided to completely change my life.What started as a simple 30-minute walk each day turned into a walk/run routine, and within just four weeks, I ran my first 5km non-stop!

I was exhausted, and everything in my body screamed for me to stop, feeling nauseous along the way, yet I did it!

I lay on the grass right after reaching the 5km mark, out of breath, looking up at the sky, crying.

I didn’t know I could do this, yet I finished in 38:38 minutes.

Two months later, I entered a 5km charity race that was super hilly and really took a toll on my body, but I ran my best time: 36:30 minutes.

And guess what? I’m doing it again! Tomorrow!!

The Road2Hope Hamilton Marathon takes place on November 2nd at 10 a.m. for the 5km race, and I will be volunteering the next day at the finish line for the big marathon event!
